Ad vitam
(For Life)
Prologue:
Breathing heavily she closed the door and sat on the cold stone floor.Blood covered bodies of her friends and enemies were left behind the oak doors and peace of the cold room surrounded her step by step.
This was too much to take. The pain was crushing her from inside and the only thing she wanted now was just close her eyes and pretend that nothing of this hapened.
Pretend that they were alive, pretend that all of them were safe enough to survive...at least this night.
Hermione Granger stood up and walked to the table in the dark room to start her search. She had no doubt that it supposed to be here.
„Then the time comes, you will know what to do,Miss Granger. But until when, it will lies here and will wait for you".- Professor McGonnagal put away the Time Turner inside one of the drawers, when young Hermione gave it back to her after the events of the her third year of education in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
„But Professor...I am not sure I can understand...why?"
„Do not ask the questions now Miss Granger. The asnwers will come with time.- soft smile appeared on the teacher's face.- Now off with you, go child, or you will miss the express home."
Professor's McGonnagal's study was up in the Gryffindor Tower's fartherst corner. The Death Eaters were still on the school's grounds. She had at least fifteen minutes to react.
Frantically opening drawer afrer drawer she finally found what she was looking for. Time Turner...She put it around her neck and already wanted to turn it on when she caught the sight of a book in the bottonm of the drawer. She has never seen it before.It looked like it was at least five or six hundred years old. 'The Secrets Whithin...Hogwarts :the Uncut History."
She could not resist to open the first page and read between the lines.
The four founders...School of witchcraft and wizardy...an oreder was formed... to protect...in the time of need...the special mark on the wrist...no one will ask no questions...all roads are open...phoenix with open wings...
„No one will ask no questions..."- she whispered closing the book.
„I was a paranoid once Miss Granger.Maybe even wose whan Alastor- The Headmaster of Hogwarts,Albus Dumbledore chuckled after asking if Hermione wanted some Lemon Drops."Believe it or not, I was. After Tom finally became Lord Voldemort and started his attacks on muggle towns more frequently,I saw the danger everythere. That was of coarse, untill the prophecy was found."
„About Harry,Headmaster?"
„Yes...I couldn't even trust myself,after all I believed in Tom's good side untill the end. I was supposed to take care of the students here.Ah...I believe we had even several steps of a work interview.Yes, post of the Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts had always atracted some spectacular personalities to Hogwarts..."
She was supposed to went back in time in order to change the future. Challenging Fate was always a hard thing. She had done it before,she could do it now as well. She heard some distant voices and steps nearing. She had no time and quickly started to turn the Time Turner's little wheel...
All roads are open...
She would save them all,even with a cost of her own life.
